Fish n' Chips Page #2

Synopsis: Andy, a hard working Cypriot immigrant in London who deep-fries his way into oblivion, decides to leave London for his native Cyprus. Having slaved away for others his entire life, he finally opens his very own chip shop. But his dream turns into a nightmare, as he seems to have overlooked one small detail: Cyprus just isn't London!

You'll be rich within a year!

Kids love chips.

What's your asking price?

For you, eighty thousand euros.

Rent is not included.

It's a sure thing.

No glitches.

Didn't I tell you?

You won't find anything cheaper.

And stop saying you're from England,

they always double the price!

Oh, sh*t!

Mom, I think I'd like it here.

Finally something different,

not the same old thing over and over again.

I don't know.

- Mother, I've already added olive oil.

- No dear, it would show.

Even a little bit would show.

That's enough.

Enough!

And you believe her? She's just a kid.

Anna has changed sinced they came.

Haven't you noticed anything?

I think you're exaggerating,

she's just entering puberty.

- Where is Giorgos?

- At the airport.

- Have you talked to Andy?

- A little bit...

I won't be your mother's nurse.

I can't go through what

I went through last year, alright?

Maria, he's had her for a year.

More than a year.

I can't cope with it, Anestis.

Why don't we hire someone

to look after her?

I could use some help around the house too.

It's turned into a hotel.

Are you out of your mind? We can't afford it.

I can't get another loan, Maria.

All my credit cards are maxed out.

We'll end up losing everything.

Have a little patience.

Anestis, take pity on me.

You're the one who should take pity on me.

Go on now, I have customers.

I'll bring her to work with me, OK?

Fine.

Not now, Maria.

Come and sit here.

Who are you, dearie?

I'm your son, mom.

Turn off that music!

Is this the best cod you have?

Yes. Don't look at it like that,

it makes a delicious fish soup.

Do you have sole?

No sole, but I have very

fresh bass and sea bream.

I locked her in the car.

I turned the air-condition on.

If you want a bigger cod

I've got this one too.

Sweetheart?

Use frozen cod instead.

No one will know the difference.

Make it a fish tavern.

Grilled octopus, minnow,

red mullets, sea breams.

This is the Mediterranean, mate.

Not the Atlantic Ocean.

You'll never get the cod you're after.

Why do they have fresh tuna fish?

Is there tuna in the Mediterranean?

How should I know? Maybe.

Under Regulation 2065/61

of the European Union...

...fishery products must bear

an appropriate label...

...stating the trade name of the species,

production method and catch area.

You may continue in Greek.

Very well.

Essentially we are trying

to avert the illegal imports...

...from third countries.

Tell me, are you planning to import

fish from the occupied areas?

- Of course not!

- Then there is absolutely no problem.

Yes, but the fish will go off

by the time it gets here.

Others import high quality raw fish

from Japan for sushi.
